Got questions?
The Bark Phone is a Samsung A16, while the Bark Phone Pro is a Samsung A36. We chose these models specifically because they look like regular smartphones—not bulky "kid phones."
While there's no Bark branding on the outside of the device, a small Bark icon does appear on the lock screen, notification screen, and status bar since Bark provides the cellular service. Any Bark apps can be moved or hidden in folders. The phone itself looks just like any other Samsung device.
Parents can easily manage their child's Bark Phone from the parent's Android or iOS device.
The Bark Phone and Bark Phone Pro are paid for monthly over 24 months. This monthly cost covers the device only. A Bark wireless plan is required for activating your Bark Phone.
Bark Phone: $10/month for 24 months (device payment). Bark Phone Pro: $25/month for 24 months (device payment). There is no activation fee with either phone.
Your wireless plan cost is separate from your device payment and includes a Bark Premium subscription for the entire family, built-in parental controls, unlimited talk & text, and mobile data (if you choose a data plan). Starter plan: $29/month for unlimited talk, text, and no internet, app store, or games. Advanced plans start at $39/month.
The Bark Phone stands out from other kid phones because of our advanced content monitoring that comes built-in. Our software automatically scans texts, photos, videos, apps & social media for dangers and sends you an alert if something concerning is found.
We also made it completely customizable, because every family — and kid — is different. For younger kids, you can make the Bark Phone work essentially like a non-smartphone with our starter plan, which is talk and text only with no internet access. As they get older and become ready for more responsibility, you can easily upgrade to our advanced plan and add in access to apps and games. The best part? You keep the same phone!
Because Bark's software is built directly into the phone, it automatically monitors texts, emails, social media, and apps. Bark also can't be deleted from the Bark Phone, which helps ensure the settings you put into this cell phone for kids will stay.
The Bark Phone also offers exclusive features that the app doesn't, including contact approvals, app install approvals, remote alarms, daily screen time limits, and completely tamper-proof settings.
You sure can! Bark lets you transfer an existing number from another carrier — known as "porting" — at no additional cost!
Every Bark Phone comes with unlimited talk and text, a Bark Premium subscription for the entire family, USB-C charging cord, a data plan that fits your family's needs (non-starter plans only), and a quick start guide for easy setup.
